Exclusive! Princess Beatrice's engagement ring designer speaks to HELLO!
We spoke to the royal's engagement ring designer September 26, 2019 - 18:23 BST Sophie Hamilton It's been an exciting day for royal fans with the engagement of Princess Beatrice and her fiancé Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi. Buckingham Palace announced the happy news on Thursday, revealing that Edoardo asked Beatrice to marry him while away in Italy in early September, with their wedding to take place in 2020.
Beatrice's fiancé had firm ideas on the type of ring he wanted, reveals Shaun. "He came to me and he knew he wanted a round diamond. He knew he wanted a modern classic; something that had a little bit of difference to it, that wasn't just a classic that we see everywhere. That's why he came to me.
When asked if Edoardo was nervous about Beatrice's reaction to the ring, Shaun explained that while it's normal for a man to be nervous with a surprise proposal, every element of the design was very considered. And fortunately, Beatrice loves it, as Edoardo has reported back to the jeweller. "He said she adores the ring and that she's really happy. It so lovely, it really is so lovely, they're such a beautiful couple.
Shaun told HELLO! that he will be also making Beatrice's wedding band and possibly Edoardo's too. "I have yet to meet Beatrice, so I'm really looking forward to that and getting to know her as well. Knowing that she's over the moon, she adores the ring and is so extremely happy, it really warms my heart."Despite being privy to the exciting royal news for four whole months, Shaun insists it wasn't difficult keeping the engagement ring a secret.
Duchess Meghan is also a huge fan of Shaun's work, having worn a pair of his earrings from his Signature Tusk Collection for the Queen's 92nd birthday concert. He told us of Meghan: "She's a very, very big ambassador of my work and it's very flattering for me to know I've dressed Kate and I've dressed Meghan and now to have Beatrice wearing my work is beautiful. I mean, three amazing women wearing my work is a real honour and is really flattering to me.
